Post them if you got them. I'd like to see what can be done in the area of portraits from these cameras.
Any style, any lens.

Thanks,
 
I'm sure you will get some nice samples here from users. But if you want to see some great stuff check out the work of Tierney Gearon:

http://www.tierneygearon.com/exhibitions/mother_project.php

The link will take you to work that was shot with a Mamiya 7. I believe most of the work under the exhibitions heading on her site was done with the 7.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Note: some of her photography is NSFW and will offend some viewers.

these are my kind of portraits.

This entire series (six months on the Daytona Beach boardwalk) was shot with a Mamiya 7 using Fujichrome Astia. See the whole series at http://bobmichaels.org/boardwalk-intro.htm

These are my portraits of real people. Not sure what your definition is. I do about half my photography with the Mamiya 7.

PS: you cannot tell sh*t about the camera or lens by looking at a 800 pixel wide JPG on line. These could have been shot with a digital P&S and look the same on line. It is only when you see the prints that the difference shows.

Both are with the standard 80/4 and probably Portra 160NC.
The camera is decent for portraits, however, the meter close
focus can feel like a mile in certain instances.
